Chapter 69 You Are My Baby
After leaving The Johnson mansion, Eugene and I were the only ones in the car. Kim fell asleep and was left behind with her grandparents.
After getting in the car, Eugene didn’t start it for a long time. He stared straight at the endless darkness outside the car with a solemn look in his eyes.
I was afraid that the atmosphere would be too awkward, so I put on the music with my hands. Eugene looked sideways and asked, “Did I scare you just now?”
I shook my head violently like a rattle, “No, no! Your family is pretty good, except for your father who is quite strict…”
When it came to Eugene ‘s father, he didn’t go on, as if to him, his father was a person he didn’t like to mention.
The car started and drove all the way towards my house.
On the way, I opened the car window and lay there looking at the various street lights and night scenery.
When we were passing by the night market, I asked Eugene to stop the car without any shame, and I said I wanted to buy some snacks. He refused at first, but then he agreed.
When I walked to the snack street, he followed me leisurely, as if I were from two different worlds, two meters apart to draw a clear line.
It made me feel like I was embarrassed by him!
When I was buying nigiri sushi, all the change in my pocket was used up. I turned around and ran to him and said pitifully: “Lend me ten yuan in change! Please!”
Eugene pointed to the plastic bags on my wrist with a look of disgust and said, “How many have you bought? Isn’t it enough to eat? Candice, are you a pig?”
I pouted and retorted, “I didn’t even eat at your house, okay! Your mother made so many delicacies, and I didn’t even eat a bite!”
Eugene took a step back, “Take those things off your hands! They’re greasy!”
I felt that he looked down on me, and I was very angry! I had the good intention to go to his house to act, but now he didn’t even give me food and complained that I was greasy!
I took two steps forward and reached into his trouser pocket to look for change.
Eugene kept backing away, and I kept attacking him. I put my hands in his trouser pockets and rummaged around. As a result, I lost my balance and bumped into his strong chest, falling on him.
Eugene growled in a low voice: ” Candice ! Can you please pay attention!”
I hurriedly tried to stand up, but at this moment, I could hear his abnormal heartbeat through his chest…
Plop! Plop! Plop!
This is too fast…
I raised my head, looked at him and said, “Is your heart okay?”
Eugene glared at me with a dark look on his face, then turned and walked away.
I held the two pieces of change in my hand, watched his back disappear into the snack street, and felt strange in my heart.
Plop! Plop…
My heartbeat seemed to speed up for some unknown reason.
After buying snacks, I returned to find Eugene ‘s car. Just as I was about to get in, Eugene locked the door and said, “Eat outside before coming in!”
Seeing that he was not joking, I stood on the street with grievance, took out the bamboo sticks and started eating.
This is actually quite good. When you go to a night market, you just need to eat snacks on the roadside. The atmosphere is still very good.
I made an octopus ball and walked around the front of the car to Eugene ‘s door. I held the ball up to his mouth and said, “Ah!”
Eugene turned his head away in disgust, ” Candice, get out of here!”
I continued my attack, “Ah!”
He blocked my hand and was about to push me out, but at this moment, a car suddenly passed by on the road behind me. Eugene was faster than me. He grabbed my collar and pulled me back to the car door.
In an instant, our foreheads collided with each other. In the mist, his breath brushed my cheek. We were face to face and almost kissed.
Suddenly, he pulled me tightly, leaned back, and said awkwardly: “Get up here!”
I calmed my breath and said, “Oh…”
After getting in the car, Eugene drove me all the way back to my neighborhood, and I didn’t eat anything because I always felt the atmosphere was weird.
Before getting out of the car, I packed up the snacks in my hand and opened the car door. Eugene asked from behind me, “What will happen to your children after the divorce?”
I smiled and said, “You are not my boyfriend, why do you care so much?”
He looked at me sharply, “Am I not now?”
I rolled my eyes twice, “We are just acting! Besides, have you ever seen a boyfriend who doesn’t buy snacks for his girlfriend?” I looked him up and down and said angrily, “You deserve to be single! I don’t want you to be so unromantic!”
Eugene seemed to be irritated by me. He grabbed my wrist and warned, ” Candice ! Say that again?”
I wasn’t afraid of him, and responded word by word: “I say! You deserve to be single! If it were me, I wouldn’t want a boyfriend like you!”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
But suddenly, he pulled me hard and pushed me in front of him.
I leaned forward, my heart pounding as I looked up at his face, “You, you, you… what are you doing! I’m telling you, don’t get angry, I’m a woman!”
He said to me fiercely: “My woman, I can do whatever I want with her!”
“…”
I thought he must be very angry now, and he started to talk nonsense. I bumped into him on the chin and shouted, “You are dreaming! Who is your woman? I am going home!”
I shook off his hand, turned around and jumped out of the car. Eugene honked the horn twice angrily, and seemed to be really mad.
I turned around and made two faces at him, then ran into the corridor.
When the corridor lights came on, I saw a “Under Maintenance” sign at the elevator entrance.
It should have just been put down, and the maintenance personnel are checking the circuit at the main switch.
There was no choice but to go upstairs. Although I always take the stairs on weekdays, I still prefer to take the elevator at night because it is safer.
The lights in the staircase corridor were dim and yellow, and since there were few people at this time, it felt a bit scary…
Moreover, there are still traces of the graffiti in the corridor, so I am always afraid that some troublemakers will come to cause trouble for me.
I took a deep breath and went up two steps at a time.
However, when I walked to my floor, I unexpectedly saw a young man at the corner of the upper floor.
The man, who looked to be about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, was curled up in the corner.
I don’t know where he is from, but judging by his clothes, he is probably not from this building. His clothes are a bit shabby, and the leather jacket he is wearing is very old, with the skin on his elbows rubbed off.
I saw that he was asleep, so I walked carefully to the corner of the stairs.
He was sleeping soundly and looked very tired. He seemed to be very insecure and curled up tightly.
However, his outline is really handsome. Although you can’t see his eyes, the silhouette alone is enough to make people think about it.
My intuition told me that he was a homeless person.
I didn’t intend to disturb him, so I secretly put the snack in my hand next to his head.
I walked down the stairs step by step, then took out the key and opened the door.
However, the moment I took out the key, I was shocked to find that the door lock had been pried open!
I opened the door and the house was no longer messy, but filled with smoke!
